Just wondering how often everyone rotates their tires. The maint schedule say 7500 miles but just wondering how many miles y'all let go by until rotating

 

I bought mine at Costco and they rotate them every 6K miles.

 

Lol same. I wonder if it would void the warranty if they did it every 7500

 

I would ask them. My guess is that if you were to have any problems or premature tread wear the tire manufacturer could come back and deny the warranty request if it shows you didn't do regular maintenance.

 

Here's some disheartening news from Consumer Reports. You really have to keep good records.

That said, I rotate when it's convenient -- 5000 to 8000 miles. Sometimes it's done during an oil change, a NYS inspection, or when the weather makes me put on winter tires.

New tires are softer and have tire squirm. Ideally, they should be rotated earlier. Tires in their mid-life are harder, and can be rotated later. But who's going to that?

 

I dont rotate the tires at all!
With each end of the car requiring very different things from the tires as far as turning and accel/decel effort,
I feel its better to run them in the position they are used to
Once the inner cords are used to their job- dont try to retrain them for a different job!

Those who rotate- at the suggestion of tire makers! - find that 4 tires wear out at the same time,
pretty much the intent of the tire makers who are eager to sell you 4 new ones!
I prefer to replace 2 tires when needed, then the other 2 a year or more later

Thats just my opinion

 

Every other oil change for me.
I do a 3x1 one oil change & rotate tires on the other.

 

every 10000KM

 

Every new set of tires I've bought at Tire Discounters or Firestone came with a recommended rotation interval of 5k miles I think. I switch my wheels for summer/fall and winter/spring though, so essentially they get "rotated" every driving season, which ends up being around 5-6k miles.

 

Once every year.

When I change over from snow->summer or summer->snow tires, I do the rotation as well.

 

I never rotate them.

 

I rotate a couple of times during the life of the tires. The published life is 50k (Michelin) so maybe every 10k. The tires on the front take a lot of load - turning and drive. So they do wear faster.

 

Just when I do the summer to winter to summer swaps.

 

Every 7,500 with the oil.

 

I never rotate them either... I don't get any difference in thread life by doing so.

 

I rotate every 6k whitch is about every 6 months

 

I rotate every five to six thousand miles. I buy my tires from Discount Tire and that's what they recommend. I have had three sets of tires fall way short of their mileage warranty and because I followed their recommendations, I have always had no problem getting a credit. If you go to a place like Discount that does all of the record keeping for you it's a no brainer. I had a set of Khumos that lasted half of their warranty and ended up basically getting three tires free. I had some Uniroyals on a minivan (horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE tires) and got them replaced due to them just sucking and got a new set of tires for $80 bucks. And finally, I got a set of Conti Attack DWS for my TL-S that lasted less than 30k on a 50k warranty and ended up paying half to get them replaced.
With good tires and proper maintenance, you will get consistent wear. If you don't rotate your tires, I promise that the fronts will wear out far faster than four properly rotated tires, so you'll end up buying two for the front more than double the time you buy four for all four corners. And Discount Tire does it all as part of the purchase price for free. But, hey, do what ever makes you happy!

 

^ You wont wear the front faster If you control your pedal...
I never rotate my tires and get consistent thread life if I keep it together on the stop signs.. The YK580 gets me +35K on all 4 corners consistently which is on the top side on all brands I've used, It isn't the longest lasting but is by far the best handling/wear ratio I could get.

If I were to drive like I like to even with rotation I would wear all tires rather quickly. Its better if I wear just a pair and enjoy my car
